APPLE IS VLOG-FRIENDLY

Finally! As pretty much everyone predicted, the Video iPod is here. I know the rest of the blogosphere has already commented on this, but I think it's pretty exciting in spite of the long slow buildup to this moment. Now I actually want one. I don't think it's going to have quite the revolutionary effect on video as the original did for music and audio, but it's certainly going to help bring video podcasts* video blogs into the mainstream. No longer the shameful retarded younger brother of podcasts, VIDEO has it's own spot on the iTunes sidebar. And lookee there - Steve Jobs has Rocketboom and Tiki Bar TV cued up!

* Please, Apple and the rest of the world: STOP USING THE TERM "VIDEO PODCAST." That's as stupid as calling television a "video radiocast." Of course Apple is invested in pod-anything, but we don't have to swallow it.

Kylark: I'm in the same boat. Now that I got a job (guess I should mention that here..) I can sustain myself again. But after mortgage + bills + $gajillion owed to lori and creditors, where are my toys? where's my box of money, my iDream, my world travel? clearly i have to start tatooing corporate logos on my head.
